Additional information
Only one body is cremated at a time - the cremator's chamber fits only one casket. When the remains have cooled, they are scanned for metallic prostheses and coffin components. A magnet is sometimes used to remove steel nails and screws.Only one body is cremated at a time - the cremator's chamber fits only one casket.
